Pets are adorable and humanity’s companions. It’s not a surprise that we go out of our way to treat them with comfort, care, and love. Our team has dogs and cats but we won’t get into a battle royal on which is a better pet. It could lead to pie-throwing matches! We don’t want to get dir
We’ve seen some ghastly pet beds for dogs and cats. Ghastly because they look terrible around the home and don’t match the home decor style for many.
If you’re like any one of us, you have attention to detail and this includes products for your pets. We’re always looking out for our own pets with quality food and snack choices. Or toys to keep them active and playful.
So why not move things up a notch with beds? We found some interesting midcentury modern beds for dogs and cats. Stylish, clean, and modern, these bed frames add sass and add design cues to existing home decor.

Furhaven Mid-Century Modern Dog Bed Frame
Made by Furhaven, this bed frame is a hot looker. It’s going to be a conversation piece for pet lovers. It also comes in two wood-look style veneer finishes to support existing home decor. Walnut and Bamboo. Matches well espresso furniture.
Its contemporary design gains support from bamboo slats like platform beds. Four metal leg stubs are thick, study, and angled for the strength and support of heavier dogs or cats.
Assembly is – great news – easy! No special tools are required and pre-drilled partitions make for an easy day.
The frame supports all Furhaven orthopedic mattresses. We like that the height is relative to most average-sized pets. Plus, pets get a little exercise by using some energy to get onto their comfortable bed. Some may not like it at first, but elevated delivers exclusive comfort for your pet.
What We Like
Your pet will look like a cast member from Mad Men. The contemporary look and mid-century design from the 60s and 70s set a perfect tone for your home.
The frame is very light weighing in at 11 pounds. The frame dimensions are 22.07 inches (L) x 17 inches (W) x 9.80 inches (H).
Its contemporary design gains support from bamboo slats like platform beds. Four metal leg stubs are thick, study, and angled for the strength and support of heavier dogs or cats.
Several bed dimensions are compatible with this frame. Remember, bedding does not come with a frame. Furhaven’s pet dog beds available include the chaise lounge, sofa, or traditional mattress. They also come in small, medium, large, and jumbo sizes. You will want to check bed dimensions against the frame itself. You should also consider size — a small may be too small for some pups and err on the side of caution and go a size up if not sure.
Compatible Bed Dimensions include:
- SMALL: 22 inches x 17 inches x 9.8 inches
- MEDIUM: 32 inches x 22 inches x 9.8 inches
- LARGE: 37 inches x 28.3 inches x 9.8 inches
- JUMBO: 45.9 inches x 37 inches x 9.8 inches
Assembly is – great news – easy! No special tools are required and pre-drilled partitions make for an easy day. The bed frame price is very reasonable. It won’t break your wallet.
Penn-Plax Mid-Century Modern Luxury Lounger for Cats
Made by Penn-Plax, the luxury lounger has a brown finish. Made of lacquer, this mid-century modern pet furniture fits modern home decor interiors.
We’ve seen variations but not as pretty of this. Your cat will be purring with delight. Cats, like any other pet, need some time to get accustomed to the lounger on the first try.
The cat lounger measures in at 10. inches (height) x 31 inches (length) x 14.5 inches (width).
What We Like
Installation is easy! Shouldn’t take too long with four tapered legs.
The product includes an upholstered cushion. We also know what you’re thinking about. The answer is NO. The cushion will not move when cats jump on and off. It’s snug and secure but it does come with velcro. So there is always a change it may become undone. Simple hacks include using Scotch mounting tape.
The lounger has a reasonable height and gives your cat a small workout. We don’t need another lazy cat statistic on Youtube or Twitter.
The height may be perfect if your cat acts like the neighborhood spy since the lounger is level for low windows. Your secrets will never be the same again. No more peek-a-boo from your feline spy either. This makes the spying that much easier!
This pet furniture is modern/chic for a high-finance feline. It’s the VIP treatment you’ve always wanted to give to your purry friend.
What We Don’t Like
That fake wood experience! Medium-density fiberboard (MDF) is broken down residuals from hardwood/softwood. The wood fibers are bound together with a resin/wax binder.
Some prefer matte over lacquer so options are limiting.
